Super Bowl North Jersey is finally here. And now that we know the Broncos and Seahawks will be central to the next two weeks of ceaseless hype leading into the big game on Feb. 2, let's have a look at all the players and coaches from both teams with ties to the Garden State.

Broncos head coach John Fox
Fox was the Giants' defensive coordinator from 1997-2001. He had taken the Panthers to the Super Bowl exactly 10 years ago, which means he joins Don Shula, Bill Parcells, Dick Vermeil, and Mike Holmgren as the only NFL coaches to reach the Super Bowl with more than one team.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll
Carroll was the Jets' defensive coordinator from 1990-93, then was elevated to head coach in 1994. He got off to a 6-5 start before losing to the Dolphins in the famous Dan Marino fake spike game. Look away, Jets fans. Here's the video:

The Jets wouldn't win another game the rest of the year, and Carroll would get fired after the season.

Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno
Moreno was a standout running back at Middletown High School South, where he won three Central Jersey Group III titles and rushed for 1,629 yards and 28 TDs as a senior in 2005.

Seahawks offensive line coach Pat Ruel
Ruel coached the Giants' offensive line in 2004, which was Eli Manning's rookie year.

Broncos defensive end Robert Ayers
Though he attended high school in South Carolina and college at the University of Tennessee, Ayers was born in Jersey City. He was Denver's first-round draft pick (18th overall) in 2009.

Broncos free safety Mike Adams
A native of Paterson and an alumnus of Passaic Tech, Adams was undrafted out of the University of Delaware but is now in his 10th NFL season. He also began his career with the 49ers, for whom he played for three years.

Seahawks defensive coodinator Dan Quinn
Quinn was the Jets' defensive line coach under Eric Mangini in 2007 and 2008. Quinn also grew up in Morristown and graduated from Morristown High School.

Broncos defensive end Shaun Phillips
A former fourth-round pick out of Purdue who played his first nine seasons with the Chargers, Phillips signed with the Broncos last April. He's a native of Willingboro High School in South Jersey. Willingboro's stadium is named for a fellow alum, former Olympic track champion Carl Lewis, but the field there is named for Phillips.

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning
Manning's brother, Eli, is the Giants' quarterback, but you knew that already. Eli has won two Super Bowls, a feat Peyton hopes to match by winning Super Bowl North Jersey. Also, Eli won Super Bowl XLVI two years ago in the home stadium of Peyton's then-team in Indianapolis. In two weeks, Peyton has the chance to do the same to totally get even with his little brother.
